I was able to ditch Windows completely thanks to them, haven't had to dual boot for years. I remember back when I first tried linux there were only a handful of games that would run without hours of tinkering. Now compatibility is an afterthought; I just assume Steam games will work and I haven't had any issues yet.
The only (large enough) area which is currently lacking is multiplayer games, especially those with anticheats. Unfortunately, there's nothing users can do about that other than wait for game developers to enable wine support, which, despite EAC and Battleye significantly simplifying the process, many still haven't done.
